It's a foregone conclusion that the investment banks run the regulators according to Bob Chapman of the International Forecaster. It's worse in Canada than any other place.

The real short position on any company's shares is unknown for the reason that the naked short seller enters his or her orders as long sales for regular-way delivery.

These characters are basically fraudulent issuers of corporate shares. It appears they got nervy during the day as gold got upper-cut trying to follow silver's strength along with copper fading fast from its all-time day's highs.

In further incouraging naked shorting, legal short sales or some long sales, Probe tested its very short term resistance at 1.75 along with the top breaching of its upper Bollinger band. An event that, possibly, encouraged some real genuine selling as well to the suspected criminal selling.

Currently, I hold about 20% of my investment funds in PRB. If these suspected naked shorts want to take the shares down to below my extreme value area, then so be it. I really don't care who I buy from when the shares are on the bargain table.

It's best to keep in mind, many sociopaths before them have set-up some great long term buying opportunities. These guys start their operations when the public goes crazy and volume swells. This is not the case here. I know of a broker who is laying low in the grass just waiting to sink its fangs into them.
